Title: Using Bots, Machine Learning & Pipelines to create a modern data
management environment
Speaker: 1B - Mark Ramsey, PhD, SVP, R&D Chief Data & Analytics
Officer,
GSK
Abstract:
The application of AI and machine learning to tackle tasks such as medical
diagnosis, portfolio management or help desk automation are popular media
topics. An area of much less coverage is the application of these
technologies in the creation of a modern data management environment.
This session will highlight how a pharmaceutical company implemented a
large scale, production class, big data & analytics platform in less than a year
leveraging bots, machine learning and pipelines. Learn how the
technologies were applied to the data sources, ingestion and rationalization
processes to accelerate the implementation of an analytics-ready data
management environment.

Abstract: As the first Chief Data Officer of the Department of Defense, Mr.
Conlin faces a unique set of challenges and opportunities. The Department is
the world’s largest (and arguably most important) organization. Its
significant multi-dimensional complexity is partially the result of history,
legislation, and ultimately a fast-paced operational environment. Unique
situations call for unique approaches that nevertheless leverage best practices
from the commercial sector. Mr. Conlin will share some of his approaches to
the management and leadership of data for the 21st century.

E51-145
Speaker: Tom Davenport -
President's Distinguished Professor, Babson College and Research Fellow,
MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy
Abstract: 3A
AI has made its way into many large enterprises today, and it bears little
resemblance to the AI described in the popular press. This AI is evolutionary
rather than revolutionary, consists of many small projects, and has not yet
had substantial impact on jobs. Davenport will describe how enterprise AI
can still have a dramatic impact on companies, and how to manage it
successfully. He will also address the implications for data management in
large enterprises.

Session 4C Title: Data Ethics and Privacy in a Digital Society
E51-149
2:00 – 3:00pm
Moderator: Stu Madnick
Speaker: Panelists:
Christopher Lee, Chief Privacy Officer at United States Senate
Joseph Bracken, Deputy General Counsel at Informatica
Meredith Grauer, Chief Privacy Officer at Nielsen
Abstract: 4C - Ongoing data breaches and the misuse of consumer data by
technology companies continues to raise concerns about data privacy,
ownership, use, and the sharing of data. Some companies have published
their own data / AI ethical principles for data use. Others have joined
consortiums, such as the Partnership on AI (PAI) and the Information and
Technology Industry Council (ITI). While the two consortiums have
published tenets of ethical principles, they are voluntary, and have no
reporting requirements, objective standards or oversight.
At this stage there is a lack of understanding and guidance on how to
approach data ethics in a consistent manner that is embedded into the
cultural of companies. This panel brings together academic and industry
experts commenting on five broad categories of data ethics:
1. Privacy and data ownership
2. Accountability and governance in data management
3. Fairness, including the ethical application of algorithms in such a way that
respects the person behind the data
4. Shared benefit, referring to the principle that data is owned by those that
produce it, that there should be joint control of data, and the parties involved
should share benefits
5. Transparency, referring to the principle of being open about the way data
is collected and used.
The panelists will address current ethical quandaries such as:
• The lack of consensus between companies and organizations about the
content and practice of what an ethical approach looks like
• The trade-offs between treating data ethically and the commercialization
and monetization of data
• The securitization of data and its impact on innovation
• The need for external guidance, oversight, and regulation, such as GDPR,
CCPA and LGPD
Come hear best practices and lessons learned that can help you address one
of the most talked about and controversial topics in data management.
Session 4D Title: What Works Cities Certification: Solving Tomorrow’s Problems
Today E51-151
2:00 – 3:00pm
Speaker: Jennifer Park
Director of Certification and Community, What Works Cities
Results for America
Abstract: With the United States rapidly urbanizing, cities are on the front
lines of emerging critical issues and need to start preparing to solve
tomorrow’s problems today. Well-managed cities are using a data-driven
approach to prepare for a range of challenges from economic downturn and
climate change to cybersecurity threats and balancing the opportunity and
risk of artificial intelligence.
This session will provide an overview of What Works Cities Certification,
the first-of-its-kind national standard of excellence in city governance. By
evaluating how well cities are managed and outlining the steps cities need to
take to build a strong data infrastructure, Certification helps cities build a
government that can thrive regardless of the stresses and shocks that arise.
The session will also highlight case studies of city leaders who are already
using data to better solve problems facing their communities and prepare for
future challenges.

Session 5B Title: Data Privacy and CCPA
E51-145 3:30 – 4:30pm
Speaker: Dr. Arka Mukherjee
Founder and CEO
Global IDs, Inc.
Abstract: 5B As CEO’s grapple with the societal importance of data privacy,
many states and countries are passing privacy regulations similar to GDPR,
the European General Data Protection Regulation. In the US, the California
Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) has driven organizations to initiate CCPA
Data Privacy projects to protect the private sensitive data associated of
California residents.
The technical implementation of a CCPA project can be challenging. CCPA
- specific sensitive data can be distributed across large data ecosystems
comprised of many thousands of applications and databases. Finding and
protecting the data associated with a specific individual is equivalent to
finding a needle in a thousand haystacks.
Over the last 15 years, our team at Global IDs has established a methodology
for classifying, mapping and locating private, sensitive data using semantic
graph representations. In this presentation, we will be
describing/demonstrating the methodology within the context of CCPA
implementations and explaining its implications.
Session 5C Title: Assessing the Current State of Play in Blockchain Technology
E51-149 3:30 – 4:30pm
MODERATOR:
Mr. Ken Miyachi, CEO and Co-Founder, LedgerSafe
PANELISTS:
Mr. Steve Orrin, CTO, Intel Federal
Dr. Pieter de Leenheer, Chief Science Officer, Collibra
Mr. Raj Patil, CEO and Co-Founder, AEEC
Blockchain advocates continue to advance sweeping claims of the disruptive
potential of the technology. Skeptics counter that distributed ledger
technology (DLT) and blockchain development is in its infancy. And the
2018 crash of the cryptocurrency market – by September 2018, the market
had lost 80% of its value from its January 2018 peak - is proof positive that
the road ahead for cryptocurrencies and blockchain is anything but clear.
However, missing in the public debate about blockchain are two important
points: first, a probable cause for the 2018 cryptocurrency crash is that the
majority of people use cryptocurrencies as an investment platform as
opposed to an alternative transaction platform. And second, since many
people associate blockchain technologies with cryptocurrencies, the lesson
taken from the 2018 crash is that blockchain has no, or at best, highly
uncertain value. The problem with this line of thinking is that
cryptocurrencies are only a small fraction of the applications that can be
developed using blockchain technology. And in following any new
technology, it is important to understand where the technology is headed, not
where it started. This panel will bring together four expert perspectives on
where blockchain technology is headed. All are principals in the San Diego
Supercomputer Center’s new blockchain research laboratory, BlockLAB.
Steve Orrin from Intel will speak on the topic of AI and blockchain, where
AI affords the potential to analyze large amounts of metadata about
blockchain transactions, operations and flows, to identify anomalous or
unusual transaction activity. Pieter de Leenheer from Collibra will address
the interplay between blockchain and corporate data governance policies in
the organization. Raj Patil, CEO of AEEC, will address the business case for
using blockchain technologies in improving fraud detection in Medicare /
Medicaid. And Ken Miyachi, CEO and co-founder of LedgerSafe, a
blockchain based transactional and financial compliance platform, will
moderate.

4:35 – 6:00pm Session 6 - Partners: Industry Solutions: Use Case Successes
Session 6A Regular Sponsor 1 - Caserta Wong Auditorium
4:35 – 5:15pm Title: Treating Information as an Actual Asset
Speaker: Doug Laney, Principal Data Strategist, Caserta
Abstract: More than half of organizations admit they have a better inventory
of their office furniture than their data. Now decades into the Information
Age, there’s no excuse for not managing your information assets with the
same or better discipline than the way you manage other assets. Sure the
value of data is nowhere to be found on any balance sheet, but leading
organizations ignore that accounting vagary and treat data like one anyway.
In this session, Mr. Laney will share how to apply true asset management
principles, practices and methods to go beyond just talking about data as an
asset. He will explore how to adapt ideas from the worlds of physical and
financial asset management, and even human capital management to make
your data more available, higher quality, and more valuable, including:
- How to apply best practices in inventory management to information
assets
- An overview of his “generally accepted information principles”
(GAIP)
- How the 6 Rs of sustainability can and should apply to data
- How to take a true ecosystem approach to data architecture.
5:20 – 6:00pm Regular Sponsor 5 - Data Kitchen
Title: The DataOps Transformation
Speaker: Christopher Bergh, CEO & Head Chef ,DataKitchen
Gil Benghiat, DataKitchen VP Product and Founder
James Royster, Director, Commercial Analytics - Inflammation &
Immunology , Celgene Abstract: The list of failed big data analytics projects is long. They leave
end-users, data analysts and data scientists frustrated with long lead times for
changes. This presentation will illustrate how to make changes to big data,
models, and visualizations quickly, with high quality, using the tools teams
love. We synthesize techniques from DevOps, Deming, and direct
experience.
To paraphrase an old saying: “It takes a village to get insights from data.”
Data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers are already working in
teams delivering insight and analysis, but how do you get the team to
support experimentation and insight delivery without ending up in an IT
versus data engineer versus data scientist war? Christopher Bergh and Gil
Benghiat present the seven steps to get these groups of people working
together. These seven steps contain practical, doable steps that can help you
achieve data agility through DataOps
After looking at trends in analytics and a brief review of Agile, Christopher
and Gil outlines the steps to apply DevOps techniques from software
development to create an DataOps data platform, including how to add tests,
modularize and containerize, do branching and merging, use multiple
environments, parameterize your process, use simple storage, and use
multiple workflows deploy to production with efficiency. They also explain
why “don’t be a hero” should be the motto of analytic teams—emphasizing
that while being hero can feel good, it is not the path to success for
individuals in analytic teams.
You can view DataOps in the context of a century-long evolution of ideas
that improve how people manage complex systems. It started with pioneers
like W. Edwards Deming and statistical process control - gradually these
ideas crossed into the technology space in the form of Agile, DevOps and
now, DataOps. Organizations eager to adopt AI and machine learning (ML)
are up against significant challenges. Analysts like Gartner, Forrester, and
others have been writing and talking extensively in the past year about
DataOps.
Christopher and Gil’s goal is to teach analytic teams how to deliver business
value quickly and with high quality. We will illustrate how to apply Agile
and lean process to your department. However, the process is not enough.
Walking through the seven shocking steps will demonstrate how to create a
technical environment to truly enable speed and quality by supporting
DataOps.

Session 6B Regular Sponsor 2 - Alation E51-145
4:35 – 5:15pm Title: We’re talking about data wrong
Speaker:
Aaron Kalb, Chief Data Officer, Alation
Abstract: Data is the new oil” has been repeated so often that it's become a
cliché. But while the metaphor probably seems harmless enough on the
surface, in reality, words have power and the way we are describing data
influences how we think about it and use it. In this presentation, Aaron Kalb,
co-founder and Chief Data Officer of Alation, will discuss why the language
we use to describe data is so important, and why we should talk about—and
think about—data not as oil, but rather as… [attend the session to find out!]
Regular Sponsor 6 - Streamsets
5:20 – 6:00pm Title: Deploying DataOps for Analytics Agility
Speaker: Arvind Prabhakar, CTO, Streamsets
Abstract: DataOps borrows concepts from agile development to streamline
the process of building, deploying and operating dataflow pipelines at scale.
Putting DataOps into action requires not only the right technology but more
broadly a thoughtful approach to align the people and the process behind
such an initiative. In order to execute on DataOps you need to make
fundamental shifts in your team structures, your business processes, and
your technology platforms. GSK has been at the helm of successfully
navigating these changes and creating a self-service data fabric that gives
direct analytic value to over 9,000 scientists.
StreamSets' CTO, Arvind Prabhakar and GSK speaker will explore the
emerging trend of DataOps and discuss:
• Principles and benefits of DataOps
• Common DataOps transformations
• Practical guidelines for putting DataOps into action
• How StreamSets can help on a DataOps journey
Session 6C Regular Sponsor 3 - Okera
E51-149 4:35 – 5:15pm Title: Securing Modern Data Platforms – an Enterprise-Wide Approach
Speaker: Amandeep Khurana, Founder, Okera
Abstract: Data is the true differentiator for many businesses today, and data
analysts and other data
consumers are demanding the ability to use a variety of analytics
frameworks and tools that are
best suited for their specific workloads. However, enabling this flexibility
and trying to make data
easier to access, including providing self-service access to data, is creating
friction between the data consumers and the data stewards charged with
securing the data and ensuring compliance with evolving privacy
regulations. If not resolved, this friction can lead to security gaps or user
frustration and low productivity—or both.
Eliminating this friction by enabling fast, flexible access to data without
compromising security and control requires a two-pronged approach. First,
an organization must create a data architecture that eliminates data silos,
supports comprehensive auditing of data sources and user activity, provides
fine-grained access control of both structured and unstructured data, and
automates the enforcement of those access controls. Second, the organization
must reduce the
possibility that employees will knowingly or unknowingly find ways around
the data access and control strategies, such as through shadow IT. To
accomplish this, the organization must create a “culture of responsibility” for
data protection. This enterprise-wide, multi-stakeholder effort will require
ongoing education and training, as well as new business processes. However,
the most important ingredient will be the involvement of the C-suite, which
must make it a priority and lead by example.
This talk will lay out the requirements for a data architecture capable of
finding the right balance between increasing data access and maintaining
control and governance. It will also cover the importance of creating a
culture of responsibility and key strategies to make the effort a success.
5:20 – 6:00pm Regular Sponsor 7 – Collibra
Title: Powering the Future with Data Intelligence
Speaker: Jennifer Curtiss, Head of Enterprise Data Governance, American

executive-level alignment, new talent model support, and skilled leadership
with the ability to deliver in a number of strategic roles. Find out how to put
the right talent and technology into place to support your organization’s
needs and scale as you grow—while strengthening business outcomes.
5:20 – 6:00pm Regular Sponsor 8 - Manta
Title: Data Lineage as organization-wide capability - The so much needed
mindshift
Speaker:
Jan Ulrych, Vice President of Presales, Manta
Abstract: With the demand to make decisions faster, shorten time to market,
getting insights from data faster and the tremendous explosion of not only
volume but variety of data collected on everyday basis, we are creating more
and more algorithms to process that data and get the insights that allow us to
make decisions. This session talks about the so much needed mind-shift
through data lineage capability that gives us the efficiency boost across all
areas of the organization as we are now establishing self-service for business
users, building trust in the data, bridging the transparency gap between IT
and business as the key elements to the success of the future growth. The
traditional processes, that were designed for a slower rate of change, hinder
organizations' ability to act and often result in making decisions that are not
based on the collected data and the actual insights. Even though, data
governance processes give us the overall framework and help us to be more
organized, it is inevitable to change the long outlived way we get the
understanding about our data. On real-life cases we show how to build the
automated, scalable and enterprise wide Data Lineage capability across the
organization as the key enabler to efficiency and productivity increases,
reducing the time to market and making informed decisions faster.

Senior Director, Global Data & Analytics and Supply Chain, McDonalds
Abstract: We can all debate if data is the new oil or not, or is data playing a
much bigger and more important role than oil ever did. But it is clear that It
is impacting every aspect of our lives and everything around us. And this
phenomenon is growing and accelerating rapidly. With the evolution of
today’s information driven economy and advancement in big data and
analytics/AI technologies, enterprises are investing huge amount of
resources to create, collect, store, manage and assemble data assets for
business usage. The faster one can monetize these data assets the better is the
enterprise in terms of growth.
Despite this effort, investment and realization that monetization of their data
assets is critical for their future, many organizations still struggle to achieve
tangible business value from their untapped data assets. Enterprises must
identify and accelerate opportunities to monetize their data – driving real
value for their customers, partners and internal stakeholders.
In this presentation you’ll discover:
• How to define data monetization for both internal and external uses
• First hand experiences for monetizing data and obtaining business value
• Understanding importance of data literacy in monetization of data

While many Americans were shoveling their driveways and sidewalks from
a series of winter storms, the Federal Government shut down, and the
President signed the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (FEPA). Much of what we know about the new law and its impact is
still unclear, but several things are readily apparent.
First, the role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) is now incorporated into
federal law and separated from the role of the Chief Information Officer
(CIO). Second, government data is now open by default, and the Federal
Government must maintain its data using open standards. Third, the law
requires that the Federal Government carefully manage its data following
industry best practices. Fourth, the Act fully recognizes the value and use of
data in agency operations especially as part of evidence-based decision-
making. Finally, the law anticipates that, collectively, these efforts will
improve governmental decision-making and overall effectiveness.
A presentation summarizing the new law will be followed by an panel
discussing the implications for the federal government and the private sector.

Session 12C
Title: What do you really know about your data?
How data intelligence improves knowledge to enable organizations with
data. E51-149
4:35 – 5:35pm Speaker: Stewart Bond from IDC
Abstract:
Data that is well understood can be infinitely valuable. Data, in the absence
of meaning and context, is worthless. What do you really know about the
data in your organization? Who is using it? What does it mean? When was it
created? Where is it? Why are we keeping it? How is it being used? This
grade school concept of the five W's and one H is the basis of data
intelligence, and the source of information required to enable organizations
with data, to inform data governance processes, improve data literacy, and
outcomes of artificial intelligence trained by data. Data intelligence is
informed by metadata - something we have been collecting for decades but
not fully utilizing, in part because the technologies being used to capture and
harness metadata have been manual and disparate. In this new era where data
is the lifeblood of digital transformation, highly distributed, dynamic and
diverse; capturing of metadata needs to be automated and augmented with
knowledge to provide awareness of data.
In this session, Stewart Bond will leverage IDC market and survey research
data that provides insight into why organizations need to improve their data
knowledge with data intelligence, what defines data intelligence software,
how and who is involved in implementing data intelligence solutions.

KPMG US
Abstract:
AI in Control (Module 1) – 15 min: Martin S. or Bob Parr
KPMG’s International Guardian’s of Trust Survey reveals that the explosive
growth of AI for analytics must be tempered requiring a
parallel focus on AI governance – in short what we term “AI in Control”. In
this module we will explore:
• The burning platform for investment in this area
• Introduce a framework for appropriately controlling AI
• Discuss approaches for getting started
Case Study AI applied to Data Quality (Module 2) – 20 min Sreekar Krishna
Looking across the data supply chain’s today, the patterns and types of data
are rapidly accelerating in velocity and volume making the
traditional rule based data quality approaches less effective and efficient.
• Examine the trends driving this shift
• How AI can be used to manage data quality and reducing – the time
required by business data owners/ stewards as well as the results
Building Blocks for more effective Advanced Analytics (Module 3) – 20
min Bill Nowacki
For years we have understood that generally more data = better models. But
what happens when the amount of public and purchased 3rd
party data sources is over 1000. How do you effectively not get swamped in
all the detail? How can large volumes of data be harnessed
to speed time to answer. What’s hidden in the data that isn’t revealed in
perfunctory descriptive analysis? To solve this problem internally
– we developed a “signals repository” that takes 1000’s publicly available
sources and creates “signals” that become analytic building
blocks for more advanced analytics and machine learning. In this module we
will:
• Define what a signals repository is (vs. a data lake) and define its core
value proposition
• Examine 3 use cases on how signals were used to shorten analytic
development time while increasing prediction accuracy and driving
improved business results
• Explore how the repository can become a facility to enterprise learning and
sharing
• Answer the question “How can this fit into your data science ecosystem?”
implications for the CDO - 15 min – (Module 4) Bob Parr
The shift from defensive value (regulatory report quality, good governance
and lineage) toward a more offence or growth focused role.
In this module we will examine:
• The shift in CDO focus and investment toward growth and support of the
digital agenda
• Empowering the data science through data market places and tools like

10:40am –
11:40pm
Speaker: 14B Jiashen You, Ph.D.
Director, Information and Data Access Division
Office of Enterprise Data and Analytics
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Abstract: Like other federal agencies, the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) faced exogenous and endogenous factors
ahead of hiring the agency’s first CDO, and the work has been cut out before
the arrival. Like the private sector, the EEOC’s newly transformed principal
statistical office is customer service oriented, offers its staff a wealth of
opportunities to advance their careers, and continuously searches for ways to
grow its relevance and utility. But the road leading to the current state is far
from straight. In the first half of the talk, we will provide a brief history of
the agency’s data shop before its organizational redesign, walk through the
passage from diagnosis to vision, and share lessons learned from executing
the first 500 days as the agency’s CDO in a conversational manner. In the
second half of the talk, we will discuss the progress on the development of
the Federal Data Strategy as required in the President’s Management
Agenda, and its impact to the data community.
Session 14C Title: Automating Data Quality Measurement with Tools: State-of-the-Art
and Future Potential
E51-149 10:40am –
11:40pm
Speaker: 14C Lisa Ehrlinger, Senior Researcher
Johannes Kepler University Linz and Software Competence Center
Hagenberg
Abstract: Over the recent years, a wide variety of commercial, open source,
and academic DQ applications with different foci have been developed.
Companies are often unsure which DQ tool is best suited for their needs,
because the range of functions offered by those tools varies widely. In a
systematic search, we identified 667 software tools dedicated to "data
quality", from which we selected 13 tools for deeper investigation by means
of pre-defined exclusion criteria. Amongst others, we investigated
Informatica Data Quality, Experian Pandora, Talend Open Studio, and
Oracle EDQ. We evaluated these tools with a fine-grained requirements
catalog, which is divided into the three categories (1) data profiling, (2) data
quality measurement in terms of metrics and (3) continuous data quality
monitoring. In this talk, I will present the strength and weaknesses of the
single tools, based on the extent to which they fulfill the different
requirements. Additionally, I will give an overview on the wide variety of DQ
tools available on the market, which we discovered in our systematic
search, but have not been mentioned in any existing survey so far (e.g.,
Gartner Magic Quadrant of Data Quality Tools). This talk provides a
comprehensive overview on state-of-the-art DQ tools for Chief Data
Officers and reveals potential for functional enhancements of the tools.
